1964 Map of Goddards Peak

About this map

Goddards Peak rises as a central landmark within the high country of Stevens County, where the Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest meet. This mid-1960s survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates a transition from traditional forest management to recreational development, most notably at the 49 North Ski Area with its documented ski lifts. The landscape is dotted with family-named clearings and water sources such as Bisbee Meadow, McPherson Spring, and Johnson Lake. A lookout tower on Chewelah Mtn stands above the headwaters of numerous drainages, including the South Fork Chewelah Creek and Little Calispell Creek, highlighting the importance of fire surveillance in these heavily timbered mountains.
